    Hello everybody

     



    Just wanted to say high and to introduce myself. 50 years old now and have been playng with cars a long time. Previosly owned a 66 GTO, a 67 Chevelle, 73 Roadrunner. Got married and had kids and couldn't play anymore untill recenlty. I aquired a 55 Chevy 4 door wagon with a mildly warmed over 350 and a powerglide. Stock rear end. Body has a little rust but not bad.
    All in all, should be a fun project. Just have to decide which way I want to go, Kinda like the chopped look but don't rally like the idea of cutting up a perfecly good body. Just have to think on it. Anyway, hello everyone and I hope to benifit from all your accrued wisdom and I look forward to some really fun times here.
    Thanks

    I'm 51 (1 yr. off)
    once owned a 66 GTO ... my second car
    Owned a '56 Chevy once ... my first car (1 yr. off)
    took time off for wife........kids.......house.....etc. also
    My current project is a 70 Camaro (just to be different) He HE

    There's some Photochoppers on this site that could give you some insight as to what a chop top would look like.
